O you who persecuted
the Church of God
but then preached the faith
in earnest,
you upon whom
abundant mercy fell,
whose weakness became strength
as each day in bearing
extraordinary torments
you grew closer to God –
show us the way
to Heaven.
Pray we fall continually
from our horse,
from our pride,
and allow the Lord
to change our lives.
Pray repentance
be our constant food,
that the love of Jesus
and His forgiveness
we shall ever know
in greater measure.
